Participants will learn how to use R to import, inspect, clean, transform, summarize, reshape, and export messy datasets. The session will include guided demonstrations and hands\u002Don exercises where attendees practice writing R code using common tools and packages.\u0026nbsp\u003B\u003C/p\u003E\u000A\u003Cp\u003ELearning outcomes:\u003C/p\u003E\u000A\u003Cp\u003E\u002D Introduction to R\u0026nbsp\u003B\u003Cbr\u003E\u002D Importing and inspecting data\u0026nbsp\u003B\u003Cbr\u003E\u002D Cleaning column names and fixing data types\u0026nbsp\u003B\u003Cbr\u003E\u002D Filtering, selecting, mutating, and summarizing data with dplyr\u0026nbsp\u003B\u003Cbr\u003E\u002D Handling missing values, duplicates, and inconsistent categories\u0026nbsp\u003B\u003Cbr\u003E\u002D Reshaping data with tidyr\u0026nbsp\u003B\u003Cbr\u003E\u002D Exporting cleaned data for analysis\u003C/p\u003E\u000A\u003Cp\u003EPrerequisites to participate in the hands\u002Don exercises during the session: \u0026nbsp\u003B\u003Cbr\u003E1.
